Sunday NB15k substitute + Wesak Depletion

After a long rest I was kinda gegel for a run. Since I'm not running the NB15k, Sunday was mein own LSD, wanted to do at least 1:30. Route as follows: E-gate to Two-trees to Barricade exit to Ikan Bakar Warongs to Bayan Muatiara to D'residence small roundabout (near the 3-storey bungalows under construction) to Queensbay Mall roundabout (the second one) and return trip stopped by Nasi Kandar Queensbay for 1 can of 100 Plus & a 5 min walk break, then back to D-residence junction (didn't go to the roundabout) and retraced back, end at Caltex (angkut satu Gatorade) & cool down walk to E-gate. Total workout time around 1:56, with about 6 mins of walk rest, so total LSD run-time about 1:45. Total distance conservatively 14 to 15km. OK lah jugak. In my current shape, if I were to run the the more hilly NB15k, I would probably finish in more than 1:50 thereabouts haha!

Then Monday was Wesak day and supposed to be a rest day, but by evening mein legs felt fine, and was again gegel for a run. So put on them shoes, and...

Haha... Mein glycogen reserves have not recovered sufficiently and I was running on fat reserves after 3k. Manakan tidak, total two day distance oredy >23km lar...

BTW it's oredy almost June, and I've not registered for any race at all in 2008. I'm so gegel for a race arrrghhh! Aiming for... Ipoh Half 6 July or Langkawi Beach Run 12 July? Or just wishful thinking? The trouble with Ipoh Half is that I'm still in the Men's Open category, and there's only 200 finisher's medals. Aiyo, damn near impossible to get lar... Similar to PJ Half lar... never get medal, ever... (haha too slow, so pathetic)... Whatever it is, register first, think later...
